AMERICAN VESSELS SEIZED IN FUTURE TO BE con-

The commanders OF Canadian cruisers have been
instructed to make all seizures in future FOR viola
ton OF the fishery regulations under the provisions
OF the act just assented 10 by the British govern
ment, which means confiScation, and not under
the customs regulations, as has been the case up
to the present time, with one eXception-the
highland Lght-over which there is likely TO he

announced by the fisheries department AT Ottawa

Without this support the Dominion authorities
could do but little, but finding the British govern

to seize and confiScate every foreign vessel or

lively time may be expected, as the American fist

while the Dominion government are equally de-

CANADA HAS NOT PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.
Members OF the Dominion cabinet deny the
truth OF a cablegram from London to the effect
that communications had been received from
Canada by the British Minister at Washington
showing the favorable prospect OF a settlement OF
the fishery dispute.

THE EFFECT OF PUBLIC OPINION HERE UPON THE
IRISH QUESTION

IRISH QUESTION.
James Boyce in the Princeton Review.
Foreign journalists and politicians rarely COM
prehend either English Institutions or English
modes OF thought and feeling. and sadly at sea
in their estimate OF English public men. Because
they misinterpret our motives they misjudge our
acts, generally, no doubt, in spirit OF envy and
suspicion; but sometimes also, by aScribing to US
approximately and tenacity to the praise OF which
we are not entitled. But American opinion is an
other matter. we, in England, value it, because
we know that it is based not only on the sense OF
k1nship, on faith in the power OF freedom, but
also on sympathetic insight into our habits Of
thinking and doing, and an appreciation OF the
principles by which our government is worked.
American and English Institutions spring from the
same root; and although the solutions which have
been found or attempted for the political problems
OF the last hundred years have often taken differ
ent forms on the two sides of the Atlantic, the
problems have been mostly similar in substance
Each nation has far more to learn, and does in
TACT learn far more from experience OF the other
than either can learn from any other source
Watching American opinion With the care it de-
serves we have remarked that this is a question
which the people OF the United States are follow
ing with specially close and interesting atten-
ton. We believe 1t to be one whose broad out
lines, at least, they are, from their own history,
specially competent to master and pronounce
upon. 1t has practical interest for them as well
as for US for 1t affects the political attitude OF
large and active element in their own population.

The Man WHO Saved the Queen.

OF POUND.


The London correspondent OF the Belfast Norm

man who saved the Queens life near Kensington
Palace In 1921, when her Majesty was only two
years old. The man was an Irish soldier named
Maloney. He was walking near the carriage in
which the infant Princess was driving, and when
the carriage was upset he rushed to the childs
rescue and brought her safely out of the broken
vehicle. He broke his leg however, in the attempt,
and sustained other injuries, from which he SUI.
fered for some time afterward.

him the muniflcent reward OF one pound for his
heroic act In a few years he was sent out to In

OF twenty years, returning to England pension

for nearly twenty years that he had saved her life
